The culturally rich and historic Tuscan city of Siena is beautiful at any time of the year, but it truly dazzles during the Christmas season. For the traditionally close-knit Italian families, Christmas is a time to celebrate, spend time with loved ones and to indulge in delectable Italian cuisine. The Christmas season in Siena is traditionally celebrated from Christmas Eve through Epiphany, during which time the locals revel in the merry holiday spirit.
